Our Wedding: Reception



We had such a fun time at our wedding reception, and I'm pretty sure our guests did too (if I do say so myself!) Our aim was to try and create many of the details of the reception ourselves, but for it to still remain elegant and sophisticated. We made our own wedding cake, stationery, table numbers, signing frame, wishing well, and so much more. The food was fantastic (thanks to Fix Restaurant and Wine Bar!) as was the rest of the venue, which made it so much easier for us to relax, and actually enjoy the night :)

Our Wedding: Getting Ready and Ceremony

Hello! We're finally back from our honeymoon and up and running again. We are both straight back into work, but I think that can't be helped. We did just have a one month holiday!


Dave and I chose to have our wedding in the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens. We'd always dreamed about getting married under a giant tree, and it worked out very well.



Despite being a fairly clear morning, when I arrived at the ceremony it was raining lightly. We were glad that the tree offered a little bit of protection from the rain. 



It was so lovely and heart-warming to have so many of our family and friends there to help us celebrate and enjoy our day, we couldn't have been happier.


One of the things that helped make our day such a memorable event for us was that so many of the elements of our wedding were done ourselves. I made my own hairpiece and shoes, and we both designed, printed, cut and packaged all of our stationery, including save the dates, invitations, menus etc. Looking back on these memories makes all of the work so worthwhile.
